When the credits for Grave of the Fireflies started rolling, I was so taken aback by the overall tragedy of the movie that when I started crying uncontrollably, I was very confused at myself --- up until that point, I had never cried from watching anything before, and it never occurred to me that a movie could affect me so much.

As strange as it sounds the very first anime I actually sat down and watched once I realized they were anime and not just cartoons...Crossgame. Adachi knows how to pull your heart strings through out the series...even in the good moments there are small reminders of the sad stuff.
